Of them, only 42 bottles were of IMFL and the rest were countrymade. Tanuj ordered immediate sealing of the bottles and directed to send them to a laboratory to know whether they were spurious or not.
While the house owner managed to escape, one Umesh Ram has been detained in this connection and the house sealed. Later, Tanuj called the Town police station SHO S K Suman and asked him about the recovery. Suman had no reply. Later talking to mediapersons, Tanuj said recovery of liquor from town area is a matter of serious concern.
He said a show-cause notice would be slapped on the SHO concerned.
